French opera star and recording artist David Serero takes you on a journey of biblical proportions, as he stars in the American Sephardi Federation production of Giuseppe Verdi's "Nabucco" at the Center for Jewish History. Verdi's breakthrough work debuted at La Scala in 1842 and portrays the epic struggle of the Jews against the oppression of Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar, which echoes Italy's nationalist conflict with Austria at the time. Sung in Italian and filled with romance and drama, the opera's grand and gorgeous music features famed numbers like "Immenso Jehova" (the Hebrew slaves' triumphant hymn of thanksgiving), plus one of opera's most famous choruses, "Va pensiero," considered by many to be Italy's unofficial national anthem.

When sh*t goes down, your girls show up. As sharply funny as it is poignant, "BLKS" introduces us to Octavia, Imani, and June --three twenty-somethings in New York City hunting for intimacy and purpose in a city that doesn’t seem to care. They drink a lot. They smoke a lot. They try to have sex. A lot. When they need each other the most, the women rally to “resurrect their fly” in a day full of humorous and painful attempts to be heard through the noise that surrounds them. Robert O'Hara ("Booty Candy", "Mankind") directs. Poet Aziza Barnes makes her playwriting debut which signifies the arrival of a wholly original voice. See "BLKS" at The Robert W. Wilson MCC Theater Space. [less-]
